In Britain students have two hours of PE every school week. They do sit-ups, press-ups and skipping rope(跳绳). These are hard and not always much fun.
But some schools also allow students to jump on trampolines(蹦床), I remember when I was at school this was my favorite. Jumping high into the air always gave me a thrill(刺激). But you need someone standing by the trampoline watching you. Sometimes you can’t land where you planned.
There are also games or sports classes. In these classes kids play football and rugby（橄榄球） in the winter and cricket(板球), tennis in the warmer part of the year.
When you get your report card(成绩单) there will be a grade for PE. Your mom and dad will find out how good you are at push-ups, just as they will find out how you are doing in Maths and Chinese.
It is good to do well because it is important to be healthy. But in Britain the grade for PE doesn’t really affect(影响) how you do in school, and doesn’t affect your chances of getting into a good school.
